A light ray `I` is incident on a plane mirror `M`.The mirror is rotated in the direction as shown in the figure by an arrow at frequency `(9)/(pi) "rev"//"sec"`,The light reflected by the mirror is received on the wall `W` at a distance `10m`from the axis of rotation .When the angle of incidence becomes `37^(@)`find the speed of the spot (a point) on the wall?

A

10 m/s

B

1000 m/s

C

360 m/s

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B


As we know the `omega_("reflected ray") = 2 omega_("mirror")`
`omega_(R)= 2 xx 2pi xx (9)/(pi)= 18 xx 2 = 36 therefore v_(S) "cos"37^(@) = v`
`v_(S) = v"sec" 53^(@) = Romega_(R)"sec"53^(@) = 10 ("sec"53^(@))^(2) xx 18`
=` 10 xx ((5)/(3))^(2) xx 18 xx 2 = 1000 "m"//"s"`
